Pros:

Excellent evening meal options, very clean and great breakfast. My only point to raise was that breakfast didn’t start until 8am, meaning those of us starting work for 9am couldnt enjoy it.

Overnight stay after wedding.
Pros:

We had a slight issue with the room which was dealt with immediately. We were promptly placed in a new room while they resolved the problem.

Staff were friendly and helpful, and Gluten Free options for breakfast were available.

Pros:

Very comfortable bed and friendly staff
However it would be helpful to have a small fridge to keep fresh milk and water in especially in hot weather and a shaving light in bathroom

Chain hotel makes for expensive stopover
Pros:

Vey expensive, dinner was disappointing, service poor (since dining room competing with bar regulars), all meals extra charge. Bedside light not working on one side. set in a pleasant village but no local options for meals.
